Thanx much,

Thanks Mark.

To the other Mark- here is a link to a similar discussion from a couple of years ago that will answer your question, but basically 1500W is about as high as you should go on a single 15 amp circuit.

Finally- I think I will need the extra power eventually so are there any reefer/electricians here in Calgary who is willing to come over and add a second circuit to my tank room? If so PM me with a contact so we can discuss rate, availability etc.
